Mercury fillings are toxic and can cause small amounts of heavy metals to be released into the body. At present time, 0.00ppb is considered to be the safest amount of mercury exposure for humans. There is a wide range of variation in the amount of mercury that is required for an individual to begin experiencing physiological side effects. For instance, one person may have 3 mercury fillings and not experience any physiological side effects, whereas another person of the same age and the same quantity of mercury fillings may experience brain fog, delusions, and other symptoms and may be more susceptible to autoimmune diseases. It is now difficult, based on the research that has been conducted, to estimate how much mercury is able to pass the blood-brain barrier or how much mercury amalgam fillings contribute to the progression of disease. In the realm of dentistry, the hypothesis that mercury fillings are harmful to human physiology is not widely accepted as fact.

Because all blends of dental amalgams contain more than 50% mercury, and the accumulated health potential of these fillings has not been proved in the scientific community, we treat mercury fillings as a dangerous material at Smart Dentistry.
